How to calculate
Calculate a credit-weighted GPA for four courses.
Weighted GPA = (grade1*credit1+grade2*credit2+grade3*credit3+grade4*credit4)/(credit1+credit2+credit3+credit4)
Worked example
Course 1 grade points: 3.7; Course 1 credits: 3; Course 2 grade points: 3.3; Course 2 credits: 3; Course 3 grade points: 4; Course 3 credits: 4; Course 4 grade points: 3; Course 4 credits: 2.
Weighted GPA: 3.58 .
Assumptions and limits
